PREFACE. 



The vastness of the domain which medical literature now occupies, makes an 
index of diseases and remedies a great convenience to physicians desiring to readily 
consult the opinions of the best modern authorities as to the treatment of any given 
disease. In this belief we have reproduced this Index, for which we are indebted to 
the excellent work on "Pharmacology, Therapeutics and Materia Medica,"'* by 
T. Lauder Brunton, M. D., D. Sc., F. R. S. 

We take great pleasure in presenting our friends of the medical profession with 
an unabridged reprint of this valuable work, and, at the same time, in calling 
attention to a supplement which we have appended in the shape of Part II. In this 
will be found mentioned, in alphabetic arrangement, all the medicinal substances 
previously noticed in the " Index of Diseases and Remedies, ,, together with detailed 
lists of the pharmaceutical preparations of each. A physician, desirous of using 
a remedy that has been suggested to him by Dr. Brunton's Index, but in doubt as to 
the best available method for its administration, will, by referring to the name of 
the given article in Part II, very readily be enabled to choose the one best adapted 
to the circumstances of his case. 

To those not already familiar with the character of our work as manufacturing 
pharmacists and with the quality of our products, we desire to present briefly a few 
facts relative to our methods of obtaining supplies of crude drugs and manufactur- 
ing them into medicinal preparations, that it may be apparent to physicians that 
all that energy, skill, care and capital can do to produce pure uniform pharmaceu- 
ticals, is done by us. 

Inasmuch as there are different varieties of many medicinal plants, some 
absolutely inert from a therapeutic point of view, it is necessary that exceeding 
care be taken in obtaining supplies of the crude drug. 

For this purpose we employ skilled collectors only, and have established collect- 
ing stations in the chief homes of medicinal plants to secure genuine supplies, and 
when deemed necessary, despatch skilled botanists to the country to which the drug 
is indigenous. 

We never purchase drugs in powdered form, since their real character cannot 
then be determined, but do all our own milling at our laboratory. 

We have, moreover, for purposes of comparison and identification, a very 
complete herbarium at our laboratory under the curatorship of the eminent 
botanist, Dr. H. H. Rusby.

iv. PREFACE. 

Inasmuch, also, as specimens of crude drugs, though the same in appearance, 
vary in quantity of active principle they contain, each lot received is analyzed by 
our analytical department to determine its proportion of active ingredients. 

In preparing fluid extracts we conform to no s ; ngle uniform process for all 
drugs, but employ, for the extraction of the active principle, those processes which 
long experience in manipulating drugs has shown to be best adapted to the 
individual article in hand. 

In the case of certain of our products, such as those containing narcotic or 
actively toxic principles, each lot manufactured by us is adjusted by assay to a fixed 
standard of strength, so that a given quantity of the extract can always be relied 
upon to contain a definite known quantity of the active principle. 

We cannot here describe in detail the processes for the manufacture of different 
classes of preparations; it will suffice to say, without reflecting on our competitors, 
that with abundant capital and the skill and knowledge of our business acquired by 
long experience, we believe that we are able to employ methods of gathering and 
manufacturing drugs which are not open to many others. 

Our preparations are absolutely unprotected by patent, trade mark or copyright. 
From a scientific and ethical point of view, therefore, they are unobjectionable, 
and may be prescribed by physicians with perfect propriety. 

We believe that the only efficient way of guarding against the impurity or lack 
of genuineness of the preparation prescribed, is for physicians to specify, in pre- 
scribing, the product of a manufacturer whose facilities for obtaining pure supplies, 
experience in manufacture, and reputation furnish a guarantee of the authenticity, 
purity and medicinal value of the preparation that such a one places on the market. 
Hence we would urge the necessity of specifying in prescription the name of the 
manufacturer whose products are desired.

14*2 BEEF. 

BEEF. 

PREPARATIONS. 

Beef, powder of. Specially adapted to the large class of cases of 
grave organic or constitutional disease in which there is total loss of 
appetite, persistent nausea, and an unconquerable disgust for ordinary 
food. It affords an exceedingly concentrated form of nourishment, 
readily digestible, easily administered, and by reason of its tastelessness 
it is not liable to excite the loathing with which, in these cases, ordinary 
food is regarded. Over the various extracts of beef, beef juices, etc.. 
the powder has the advantage that it represents the total nutritive value 
of the beef, that it is better tolerated by the stomach, especially where 
anorexia exists, and that it stimulates in a peculiar manner the func- 
tional activity of the enfeebled stomach. Descriptive circular sent free 
upon application. 

Peptonized Extract of Beef. Liebig's extract contains only those 
constituents of beef which are readily soluble in water. It is therefore 
very rich in inorganic salts, but does not contain the fibrin upon which 
the nutritive value of the beef depends. It is now generally admitted to 
be a stimulant rather than a food. This peptonized extract, on the other 
hand, contains in soluble form all the nutritive constituents of beef, and 
that in a condition fitted for easy assimilation. It is rich in peptones, 
which are produced by the artificial digestion of the muscular fibre of 
beef. One part of the extract represents about eight parts of fresh beef. 
It is therefore a highly concentrated food, of great value to invalids, 
dyspeptics, convalescents and all persons in need of an enriched diet. 

Tlalt Extract with Beef, Iron and Wine. Eachfl. oz. represents: 
Iron and Ammonium citrate, 4 grs. Virtues of 1 oz. of beef. 
Malt and Wine, equal parts. 

Wines. 

Beef and Wine. Each fl. oz. represents 2 ozs. of beef, peptonized. 

Beef, Iron and Wine. This combination is a valuable stimulant, 
tonic and nutrient, but the preparations heretofore employed have 
disappointed the hopes entertained of them. This failure is chiefly 
due to the fact that the various beef extracts have been employed in 
lieu of beef, these extracts being destitute of proteids or nutrient 
principles. To supply this defect, we employ an extract which is a 
true food containing the proteids, or tissue-forming material, in the 
form of peptones, in addition to those mineral salts to which the 
beef extracts owe any virtue which they may possess. Each fl. oz. 
of this preparation contains the equivalent of 2 ozs. of fresh beef, 
peptonized, and 4 grs. citrate of iron and ammonium. 

Beef, Iron, Wine and Cinchona. 

Beef, 2 ozs. Iron and Ammonium citrate. 4 grs.

BELLADONNA. Atropa Belladonna, Linnc. (Leaves, root.)

poses.

BELLADONNA. 143 

ACTIVE PRINCIPLES. 

Atropine, U.S. P. (pure; crystals). Its therapeutic uses are identical 
with those of the crude drug. Generally administered in the pill form, 
being only sparingly soluble in water (1 in 600). 
Dose, 1-200 to 1-50 gr. (0.0003 to 0.0013 Gm.) 

Atropine sulphate, IT. S. P. (neutral; crystals). Freely soluble im 
water. While the pure alkaloid may be administered medicinally in 
the form of pills or may easily be brought into solution in mixtures con- 
taining free acid, some soluble salt like the sulphate must be employed 
for neutral solutions for application to the eye, etc. The medicinal 
properties are the same as those of the pure alkaloid. 
Dose, 1-200 to 1-50 gr. (0.0003 to 0.0013 Gm.) 

Homatropine hydrobromate. This alkaloid dilates the pupil of 
the eye promptly and powerfully, but the effect is not so enduring as that 
of atropine: hence oculists employ it in making ophthalmoscopic exam- 
ination of the eye. Generally used in a 3 grs. to the ounce solution. 

PREPARATIONS.

from Belladonna leaves.

CASCARA SAGRADA. Rhamnus Purshiana, DeCandolle. (Bk.) 

PREPARATIONS. 

Capsules Cascara Sagrada, Solid Ext., 1, 2 and 3 grs. in soft 
gelatin. 

Cascara Cordial. An elegant and palatable combination for the exhibi- 
tion of the remedies composing it, and, unlike many preparations of this 
character, intended solely for use on the prescription of the physician. 
The great desideratum in the treatment of chronic constipation has here- 
tofore been a remedy which not only possessed a temporary specific- 
action on the bowels, but which would be followed by no reaction and no 
repression of secretion, and which could be administered for a sufficient 
length of time to permit of restoration of normal function. This prepar- 
ation of Cascara sagrada fully meets these indications. 
Each litre contains. Cascara sagrada bark (true Rhamnus Purshiana), 
100 grins.; Berberis aquifolium, true, 37 grms. ; Diluted Alcohol. 233 
grms. ; Sugar, 288 grms. ; Water, q. s. ad. 1 litre. Elegantly flavored with 
carminative aromatics. 

Dose, as a laxative, 1 fluidrachm (4 C.c.) twice a day, night and morning: 
as a cathartic, 1-2 fl. oz. (15 C.c.) twice a day, night and morning; for 
constipation and dyspepsia, 1-4 to 1 fluidrachm (1 to 4 C.c.) four times a 
day for a week. If no improvement ensues, increase the dose till a nor- 
mal or laxative passage is obtained, when the dose should be gradually 
decreased in amount and frequency until the benefit is permanent. 
Cascara Cordial has also become widely known to the profession as a 
vehicle for nauseous medicines. It not only effectually disguises the 
taste of such inherently bitter medicines as quinine, but on account of 
its laxative properties, is a most valuable adjuvant or corrigent to any 
prescription containing drugs, such as iron or opium, the continual 
administration of which tends to constipate. 

Cascarin (our concentration; formula of 1887); in scale form, not hygro- 
scopic, readily reduced to powder, almost tasteless, soluble in water a id 
contains only the really active constituents of the drug. 
Dose, as a laxative, 1 to 3 grs. (0.06 to 0.2 Gm.) ; as a cathartic, 3 to 8 grs. 
(0.2 to 0.5 Gm.) 

Elixirs. Dose of each, uniformly, 1 to 2 fluidrachms (4 to 8 C.c.)

Extracts. 



Fluid Extract Cascara Sagrada, B. F. (Rhamnus Purshiana). 
Not miscible with water. 

Dose, as a laxative, 3 to 15 minims, (0.2 to 1 C.c.) 3 times a day: as a 
cathartic. 20 to 40 minims, (1.3 to 3 C.c.) morning and evening; as a 
stomachic, 4 to 10 minims, (0.3 to 0.6 C.c.) 4 times a day. 

Fluid Extract Cascara Sagrada (formula of 1887). Permanent 
and will not precipitate on standing; is entirely soluble in water, a 
true representative of all the valuable constituents of the bark and 
free from excessive bitterness. Specify in ordering, "formula 
of 1887." 
Dose, same as fl. ext. old formula above. 

Fowdered Extract Cascara Sagrada. Of same strength as the 
solid extract; prepared by evaporating, at a low temperature, the 
solid extract and replacing moisture with powdered sugar of milk. 
Dose, as a laxative, 1 to 3 grs. (0.06 to 0.2 Gm.) ; as a cathartic, 3 to 8 
grs. (0.2 to 0.5 Gm.) 

Solid Extract Cascara Sagrada, B. P. One part equals 4 of the 
bark. 

Dose, as a laxative, 1 to 3 grs. (0.06 to 0.2 Gm.) ; as a cathartic, 3 to 8 
grs. (0.2 to 0.5 Gm.) 

Solid Extract Cascara Sagrada (formula of 1887"). Is permanent, 
and will, therefore, make a pill mass which does not soften or decom- 
pose on keeping, being readily soluble in water and in the liquids of 
the gastric juice, and nearly tasteless in solution. When made into 
pills alone, the only excipient needed is a small quantity of powdered 
marshmallow. Tragacanth, recommended by some, should be 
avoided, as pills made with it harden gradually with impairment of 
their solubility. Specify in ordering, " formula of 1887.'"

C. succirubra, Pavon; Yellow, Cinchona flava, C. Calisaya, 
Weddell. (Bark.) 

Any species is official which contains 3 % total alkaloids. 
Pale bark contains most Cinchonine and least Quinine; Yellow bark con- 
tains most Quinine and least Cinchonine, while Red bark contains these 
in nearly equal proportions. 
Note— Cinchona salts are precipitated from solution by alkalies. 

ACTIVE PRINCIPLE (derivative). 
(For others not sold by us in bulk see preparations below.) 
Quinine and Urea Muriate. (Quinia bimuriatica carbamidata). 
This double salt is remarkable for its ready solubility in water, hence it 
has been selected for hypodermic use. The concentrated aqueous solu- 
tion contains 1 gr. in each minim, and, being perfectly neutral, causes 
comparatively little irritation. The effects produced are precisely those 
of the sulphate of quinine, and it is employed in the same doses. 
Dose, 1 to 10 grs. (0.065 to 0.65 Gm.)

The rules for the use of the remedy, as given by Dr. Maclean, are as fol- 
lows: " One-half ounce is given alone without dilution, after the bowels 
have been evacuated by any convenient purgative, all drink being with- 
held; in three hours another half ounce is administered in the same way. 
Soon afterwards, particularly in hot climates, profuse, but seldom 
exhausting perspiration is produced; with this there is a rapid decline 
of temperature, immediate abatement of frontal headache— in a word, 
complete defervescence, and it seldom happens that more is required.

ACTIVE PRINCIPLE AND ITS SALTS. 

% Cocaine. Crystals. The remarkable power of coca to sustain the system. 
under extraordinary exertion is due to this alkaloid. The drug itself, 
however in the form of fluid extract, is better adapted in most cases than 
the alkaloid for producing this effect. 
Dose, 1-8 to 1 gr. (0.008 to 0.065 Gm.), or more. 

Cocaine Citrate, extremely hygroscopic; in 4 per cent, solution only. 

Cocaine Hydrobromate, crystals, and also in 4 per cent, solution. 

Cocaine Hydrochlorate, crystals; also in 2 and 4 per cent, solutions. 
The remarkable discovery has recently been made that this and other 
soluble salts of cocaine, have the property, when applied to the mucous 
membrane, of completely deadening sensibility. A few drops- of a two- 
per-cent. solution when applied to the eye produce complete anaesthesia 
of the cornea and conjunctiva, so that operations can be performed with- 
out the need of chloroform or ether. The effect is transient, passing 
off within half an hour. The pupil of the eye is at the same time dilated, 
so that under the influence of this agent, ophthalmoscopic examinations 
can be made, and this effect too passes off m a few hours. 
Dose, 1-8 to 1 gr. (0.008 to 0.065 C4m.), or more. 

Cocaine Salicylate, extremely hygroscopic; in 4 per cent, solution only. 



166 COCA. 

PREPARATIONS. 
Coca-leaf Cigars and Cigarettejs. Coca smoked seems to produce 
the same effect on the system as coca taken internally, but the effects are 
not so marked. Used for the relief of hay-fever and many irritable 
throat affections. 

Coca Cordial. This cordial presents coca in palatable form, commend- 
ing it especially to the large class of persons of delicate nervous organiza- 
tion, for whom it has most frequently to be prescribed. In its preparation 
the astringent and bitter constituents of the drug, which would exert 
only a disturbing influence, are rejected, while care is taken to retain the 
true active principle, cocaine. One fluidounce represents 60 grs. of Coca 
leaves of good quality. Frequently advantageously combined with liquid 
acid phosphate (liquor acidi phosphorici). 
Dose, 2 to 4 fluidrachms (8 to 16 C.c.) 
Compressed Tablets Cocaine Hydrochlorate, 1 1-8 gr. and 

2 1-4 gr. 
Elixir Coca. Each fl. oz. represents 120 grs. 
Dose, 2 fluidrachms (8 C.c.) 
ative Coca, Lorini. Dr. H. H. Rusby, who has spent a long time in 
studying Coca leaves in their native habitat, has shown that there is a 
marked difference in the composition of the leaves immediately after 
being gathered, and those which have been kept, even for a short time. 
To this change is referred the failure to obtain from exported leaves and 
their preparations the stimulant and supporting effects which have given 
the native leaves their reputation. The term "Native Coca" is there- 
fore proposed to distinguish the drug immediately after collection, and 
before time has been allowed for any important change. An Elixir, 
carefully prepared by Dr. Domingo Lorini, a distinguished Italian chem- 
ist of La Paz, Bolivia, has been found by some of our leading physiolo- 
gists and physicians to possess the same properties as the native chewed 
leaves. 

Dose, 1 to 2 fluidrachms (4 to 8 C.c.) 
Extracts. 

Fluid Extract Coca, U.S. P. Not miscible with water. 

Dose, 1 to 2 fluidrachms (4 to 8 C.c.)

Normal Liquid Coca. So great is the variability in the coca leaves 
that reach this market, that little dependence can be placed on any pre- 
paration Jiot known to be made from a standard drug, or to be adjusted 
to a fixed standard of strength. In this respect our Normal Liquid of 
Coca may claim superiority to the products of the majority of manufact- 
urers; standard provisionally 0.5 per cent, cocaine.

COLLODION. 16§ 

COLLODION, Simple and Medicated. 

These liquids evaporate rapidly on exposure to air, leaving a thin trans- 
parent film insoluble in water or alcohol. This is used as a protective 
covering for superficial burns, ulcers and wounds, cuts, cracked nipples, 
anal fissures, erysipelas, etc. Soma medicinal agents are very readily 
incorporated with collodion, and physicians will appreciate the conven- 
ience of application suggested by the following combinations. 
Simple (or contractile) collodion shrinks in drying and this property is 
taken advantage of where it is necessary to keep the edges of incised 
wounds in firm contact, or where compression is desired— otherwise 
flexible collodion is to be preferred.

N. B. — Conium fruit is now official in place of the leaves, which are less 
active. Prescribers should always specify which is meant. 
Conium leaves, compressed in ounce packages for retailing purposes. 

ACTIVE PRINCIPLE. 

Coniine. Volatile liquid alkaloid. Preparations of Conium are notoriously 
untrustworthy, the drug varying greatly in strength even when fresh, 
and rapidly deteriorating with age. The alkaloid commends itself as a 
substitute invariable in medicinal activity, but best employed in the form 
of a salt, hydrochlorate or hydrobromate, since those compounds are 
readily crystallizable and freely soluble in water; the alkaloid itself can 
have only a limited use owing to its highly volatile character, but an

COTO. Nectandra(Sp. indet.) (Bark.) 

Note— Two distinct kinds of coto bark are now brought from Bolivia, dis- 
tinguished as "coto 1 ' 1 and " paracoto, ,1 respectively. The therapeutic 
properties ascribed to the two drugs are similar. There is reason to 
believe that the true coto bark, is at least as efficient a medicine as the 
paracoto, but since our patrons have so generally expressed a preference 
for the latter, after having made its acquaintance under the name of 
Coto, we invariably supply this article when coto bark is ordered. 

ACTIVE PRINCIPLES.

chronic diarrhoeas, such as those that complicate mental derangement, 
phthisis, etc. Less apt to produce nausea than the fluid extract. 
Dose, 2 to 3 grs. (0.13 to 0.20 Gm.)

hence it is best to begin with the minimum dose, increasing, if it is well 
borne, until the desired effect is produced. In all cases it should be well 
diluted before it is administered.

ACTIVE PRBNCIPLE. 

Digitalin. Amorphous. Various preparations, representing more or less 
perfectly the active properties of foxglove, have been offered under the 
name of digitalin. These are all, in fact, mixtures of several compounds 
(digitalin, digitonin, digitalein, digitoxin, and derivatives from these). 
Physicians may prescribe them with advantage, however, if careful to 
specify the variety they have learned to use. 
Dose, 1-50 gr. (0.0013 Gm.) cautiously increased.

PREPARATION. 

Glycerin Suppositories. These suppositories have been successfully 
employed in the treatment of certain forms of constipation, both in 
adults and children. Experience has shown that perfect solution is not 
indispensable to their activity, but that they are capable of producing a 
laxative effect without any considerable loss of weight. They are there- 
fore insoluble in water at the temperature Qf the body, and we direct 
special attention to the fact that their activity is not dependent upon 
their ready solubility. 

GOA POWDER. A substance found deposited in the wood of the 
trunk of Andira Araroba, Aguiar. 
Note— Deprived of any impurities present it is known as Chrysarobin 
(Chrysarooinum). 
(In 1 oz. bottles.) 

GOLDEN'SEAL. Hydrastis canadensis, Linn/. (Rhizome.) 

Golden-seal root, TT. S. P., compressed in pound and also in ounce 
packages for retailing purposes. 

ACTIVE PRINCIPLES. 

Berberine hydrochlorate.— Berberineis an alkaloid which occurs in 
a number of different plants, notably in the various species of berberis, 
in golden-seal, gold-thread, yellow-root, and in columbo. The yellow 
color and the bitterness of all of these are dependent, in part at least, on 
the presence of this alkaloid. From its occurrence in golden-seal, it has 
sometimes been improperly called hydrastine. Solubility 1 in 500. 
Dose, 1 to 4 grains (0.065 to 0.26 Gm.). 

Berberine phosphate. — More soluble in water than the last named. 
Its properties, therapeutic uses, and dose are the same. Solubility 1 in 10. 

Berberine sulphate.— Neutral. Of equal solubility with the phos 
phate. Properties and dose similar to the above. 

Berberine sulphate, acid. — Not so soluble a salt as the neutral 
sulphate but is otherwise of the same medicinal value. Solubility 1 in 75. 
Dose, 1 to 4 grains (0.06 to 0.26 Gm.). , 

Hydrastine.— The white alkaloid of Hydrastis canadensis. It exerts a 
peculiar stimulating and alterative action upon the mucous membrane, 
and is a valuable remedy in atonic conditions of the bowels, and in alj 
catarrhal affections of the mucous tracts. Especially useful in chronic 
affections of the bladder and genito-urinary system. 
Dose, 1-6 to 14 grain (0.004 to 0.016 Gm.). 



186 GOLDEN-SEAL. 

Hydrastine hydrochlorate.— Pure hydrastine is soluble in alcohol 
and chloroform, but not in water. The hydrochlorate, or muriate, is 
freely soluble, and is therefore to be preferred in prescribing. It is much 
used by oculists in solutions containing 1 to 5 grains to the ounce. Also 
a valuable local remedy in gonorrhoea (1-4 to 1 grain, or more to the oz. i. 
Dose, 1-16 to 1-4 grain (0.004 to 0.016 Gm.). 

Hydrastine sulphate.— Properties and uses identical with those of 
the hydrochlorate, and used in the same doses. 

Hydrastinine liydrochlorate.— This substance, an oxidation product 
of Hydrastine, has recently been prepared by us for physiological inves- 
tigation in European laboratories, prominent among which is that of the 
University of Berlin. Recent advices from the highest Eu"opean author- 
ities represent it to be of immeasurable service in controlling uterine 
hemorrhages, far surpassing Ergot in efficiency, certainty of action and 
safety. For full report of its therapeutic application see Medical Age, 
Jan. 25, 1890, or Therapeutic Gazette, Jan. 1890. 
Dose, % to \\i grs. (0.05 to 0.1 Gm.)

Fluid Golden-seal, Colorless.— Miscible with water. 

Each pint of this fluid contains, in solution, 20 grains of the white 
alkaloid hydrastine, upon which the peculiar alterative action almost 
solely depends. As its name implies, it is a colorless f reparation, 
entirely free from berberine to which the characteristic jellow color 
of golden-seal is due. When employed as a topical remedy, it has 
a marked advantage over the fluid extract in that no stains are pro- 
duced. It is also devoid of bitterness. 
Dose, 10 to 60 minims (0.65 to 4 C. c). 

Powdered Extract Golden-seal.— Of the same strength as the 
solid extract; prepared by evaporating, at a low temperature, the

Powdered Extract Indian Cannabis (Cannabis Indica). 

Note. — Powd. Ext. Indian Cannabis ad found in the market is not 
equivalent, grain for grain, to the ordinary solid extract. Physicians 
complain that they do not obtain from it the effects of the drug. 
This is no doubt due to the fact that chemical agents are employed 
to solidify the resin. We p'^fer to simply dilute the solid extract, 
and so avoid the injurious influence of excessive heating, and of the 
addition of chemicals. This saccharated extract we supply is one- 
fourth the strength of the ordinary extract.

Syrups. 

Dover's Powder. — Each fluidounce represents 40 grs. Dover's Powder, 

U. S. P., or 56 gr. Morphine alkaloid equivalent to 3-4 gr. Morphine 

sulph. 

Dose, for adults, 1 to 2 fluidrachms (4 to 8 C. a). 
Ipecac, V. S. J*.— Each fluidounce represents 30 minims fluid extract. 

Dose, as an emetic for a young child, 30 to 60 minims (2 to 4 C. c.) 

repeated; as an expectorant for adults, 30 to 60 minims (2 to 4 C. c.) ; 

as an expectorant for a child, 1 to 10 minims (0.07 to 0.7 C. c). 
Potassium Citrate and Ipecac— Formula suggested by Prof. H. C. 

Wood, in the Therapeutic Gazette, Jan. 15, 1885. Each fluidounce 

represents: Potassium citrate, 80 grs.; Lemon juice, 160 minims; 

Syrup Ipecac, 40 minims. 

Dose, for an adult, a tablespoonful (15 C. c.) 4 to 6 times a day. 

Prof. Wood, as the result of long experience, has settled on this com- 
bination of potassium citrate with ipecac as the best sedative cough 

mixture he has ever used. If there is much cough Dr. Wood is 

accustomed to add to the mixture an opiate, and such an addition 

can easily be made whenever the case seems to demand it. The 

mixture is intended to be used only during the first or dry stage of 

the "cold." After the first two or three days the more stimulating 

expectorants come into play, and here Prof. Wood finds the oil or 

eucalyptus in capsules the most serviceable remedy. See Eucalyptus:

glass, add a dessertspoonful of the elixir, stir briskly till thoroughly 
mixed, and then let the mixture be taken, followed immediately by 
about a teaspoonful of the elixir. 

Extracts. 

Fluid Extract licorice, V. S. P — Miscible with water. 
Dose, 1 to 5 fluidrachmS (4 to 20 C. a). 
Fluid Extract Licorice for Quinine, etc. — Miscible with water. 

Identical in strength wfth the official preparation, but free from the 
bitter extractive which tne latter contains, and therefore especially 
adapted for disguising the taste of bitter and nauseous medicines. It 
forms clear mixtures with aqueous and alcoholic solutions, but the 
glycyrrhizin it contains is precipitated by acids. Hence, in quinine 
mixtures containing licorice, acid must not be prescribed to effect 
solution of tne alkaloids. 
Dose, 1-2 to 2 fluidrachms (2 to 8 C. c.)t

MANDRAKE. Podophyllum peltatum, Linni. (Rhizome.) 

Mandrake root, compressed in pound and also in oz. packages for

ACTIVE PRINCIPLES 

Podophyllin.— Resina Podophylli, U. S. P. This preparation represents 
the properties of Mandrake root in a highly concentrated form. In small 
doses it possesses aperient and alterative properties. In large doses it is 
a valuable cathartic. 

Dose, as a laxative, 1-8 to 1-4 grain (0.0081 to 0.016 Gm.); as a purgative, 
1-4 to 1 grain (0.016 to 0.06 Gm.) . 

Podophyllin? Phar. Oer. — This differs from the above in the use of 
water alone for precipitation of the resin. Although the color is much 
paler, its medicinal character and activity are the same. It answers the 
German pharmacopoeia tests in every particular except one, in which 
that authority is itself at fault; perchlonde of iron does not produce in 
, the aqueous solution a brown color, and will not do so with any sample of 
pure resm. 

Podopnyllotoxin.— The active constituent of the resin of Podophyllum 
It is about twice as strong as podophyllin. 
Dose, 1-16 to 1-2 grain (0.004 to 0.033 Gm.).

PEPSIN. An article representing the active principle of the gastric juice. 

Properties.— Pepsin is that digestive ferment which dissolves albuminoids 
such as white of egg, meat fibrin, etc. It differs from pancreatin in not 
being able to act upon starcby or fatty substances, and in being active 
only in an acid solution instead of an alkaline one. Used as a substitute 
for the natural digestive fluid in atony of the stomach from functional 
derangement or organic diseases. 

Pepsin, Iiactated.— This contains all of the principal agents contributing 
to one process of digestion in its several stages. It converts starch into 
soluble glucose, digests albuminous and fibrous matter and renders fatty 
foods more easily assimilated. Dose, from one to five grains (0.06 to 0.3 
grm.). Each dose of five grains contains: Pepsinum Purum Pulvis y 2 
grain (equal to 20 grains Saccharated Pepsin, U. S. P.) ; pure Pancreatin, 
y 2 grain; Lactic acid, Maltose, Diastase, Hydrochloric acid.

grain of which is capable of completely digesting 2,000 grains coagulated 
egg albumen in accordance with our modified U. S. P. test. 
Dose, }4 to 2 grains (Gm. 0.032 to 0.13). 

Pepsinum Purum Pulvis.— Is identical in character with our Pep- 
sinum Purum in LameUis. It is soluble, and will completely digest 2, 000 
times its weight of albumen, by our modified U. S. P. test. 
Dose, ^ to 2 grains (Gm. 0.032 to 0.13).

GENERAL INDEX. 



There are many articles mentioned in Part I — "Index of Diseases and Remedies" 
— that Will not be found in this index; these are principally such articles as "•ice, 11 
"mustard poultice, 11 "acids, 1 ' "cholagogues, 11 etc., which are not articles of com- 
mercial pharmacy, or are too indefinite for particular indication. There are many 
instances also throughout Part I where plants are noted as remedies merely by their 
generic name; thus, for example, when the author mentions " Fraxinus 11 no clue is 
afforded us as to whether Fraximcs americana, or F. sambucifolia is the agent 
intended, since both are used medicinally and both are upon our list; the decision in 
these cases is necessarily left to the reader.
